Parrot tent
A soft fabric shelter for companion parrots, hung inside the cage.
Last updated
A parrot tent is a piece of birdcage furniture, typically made from fleece, synthetic fur, or quilted fabric, that provides a companion parrot with a soft, private space to play, warm itself, rest, or sleep. It is often referred to by brand names such as 'Happy Hut' or 'Snuggle Sack' and is hung from the cage roof with clips. Concerns include the bird consuming fabric, entanglement in frayed threads, and the tent triggering nesting-related behaviors like egg-laying or aggression.
